    I wouldn't be casting too many stones on this one 'brendan'...

    It's a problem in all clubs from what I hear, big problem.

    From an article in 2002...

    You would have to be mad to think it has improved...

    "Things go Better", seems to be the choice these days.

    Young men, risk takers, time and money...plenty of hangers on.

    Third Collingwood player in a few years.

    Crisis.

    Clearly the club needs total disqualification, meaning that MFC, should they win on Sunday, would finish fourth ??

    But seriously looking forward to McChinny spin on this.

    Prime Minister coup or Collingwood drug scandal? Herald Sun absolutely stumped for today's front page.

    The panel on SEN this morning raised an interesting discussion.

    Should a team be stripped of the 4 points had the team won if the player tested positive on that particular game day?

    In horse racing a win is taken away when a horse returns a positive swab on the day, I understand it’s a totally different scenario and more an individual competition but, how many players would need to test positive on ‘ Game Day’ for points to be stripped?

    Also, is positive testing on match day included in the 3 strike policy?

    Oh, they were. Didn't you see the way they went after Dale Lewis? Scorched earth!

    Fortunately, this time it's ASADA on the job.

    1. Yes
    2. Game day illicit drug taking is treated as performance enhancing so different drug code

    Peter Gordon on ABC:

    Drug was banned on match day only... Defence may be that it was not taken within 24 hours of playing

    Nice try Pete, but if it’s still in your system, it is still enhancing performance. When it was taken is irrelevant.

    Imagine if one of his teammates also had tested pos and WADA came down hard on Collingwood for 2 pos players! AFL kick them out of the finals like Essendrug was. Melbourne beat GWS on Sunday and finish top 4!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
